Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has a moderate user base of 20,000 users and a decent rating of 4.1 stars, suggesting some level of community acceptance. However, the developer "Qrew LLC" lacks detailed information, making it difficult to assess company reputation. The extension appears to be specifically designed for AppSheet users, which provides some context for its permissions.
The extension requests unnecessarily broad permissions for what appears to be an AppSheet productivity tool. The tabs permission allows manipulation of browser tabs and access to sensitive tab information, which seems excessive for a toolbox application. The scripting permission combined with declarativeNetRequest capabilities could enable content modification and network request interception. While host permissions are limited to AppSheet-related domains, the combination of permissions creates potential for data collection and browsing activity monitoring beyond the stated purpose.
Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile dedicated to AppSheet work to limit exposure. Before installation, verify that you actively use AppSheet services and that the extension's functionality justifies the requested permissions. Monitor the extension's behavior after installation and remove it if you notice unexpected tab manipulation or network activity. Consider alternative AppSheet tools with more limited permission requests if available. Regularly review and audit extensions with high-risk permissions like this one.
